Santiago de Chile

Santiago de Chile

There I loved a terrible womanAllí amé a una mujer terrible
Crying for the eternal smokeLlorando por el humo siempre eterno
Of that cornered cityDe aquella ciudad acorralada
By symbols of winterPor símbolos de invierno

There I learned to take away the cold with skinAllí aprendí a quitar con piel el frío
And then throw my body into the drizzleY a echar luego mi cuerpo a la llovizna
In the hands of the hard and white fogEn manos de la niebla dura y blanca
In streets of enigmaEn calles del enigma

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado
Oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh

There I was followed like a shadowHasta allí me siguió como una sombra
By the face of the one who was no longer seenEl rostro del que ya no se veía
And in my ear death whisperedY en el oído me susurró la muerte
That it would soon appearQue ya aparecería

There I had a hatred, a shameAllí yo tuve un odio, una vergüenza
Beggar children of the early morningNiños mendigos de la madrugada
And the desire to change each stringY el deseo de cambiar cada cuerda
For a sack of bulletsPor un saco de balas

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado
Oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
Not with the distanceNi con la distancia
Not with the vile soldierNi con el vil soldado

That is not deadEso no está muerto
They didn't kill itNo me lo mataron
That is not dead (there I loved a terrible woman)Eso no está muerto (allí amé a una mujer terrible)
Oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh
